Hi Hon,
I was trying to be humorous. Sunrisesky warned me about vendors adding in sugar and regular flour to their bread. In the states what is put into foodstuffs is regulated by the Food And Drug Admnistration (FDA) to inform the consumer. It must be stated on the label. Not so with a sidewalk food vendor/cook in another nation. bob s


Ah. I hope, as a Canadian posting on a Belize message board, that I can be forgiven for thinking FDA was a supplement along the lines of CLA, EFA, MSM etc.

I say get your bread from Mattieu's Delicatessen. He makes a few different really hearty loaves (they vary by the day) that are absolutely fabulous.

...and I have never been served whole grain rice, whole wheat pasta or ww tortillas in any restaurant or from any vendor in San Pedro. They are invariably white. I looked for whole rice in the grocery stores last January and couldn't find any. At the time, I was told that Lagniappe Provisioning could get it for me but I didn't follow up.

Newfoundlanders are the only people in heaven who want to go home.
